Perch are being found in 20 to 30 feet on the bars such as Snaghole, Horseshoe, and Moxes Hole. You'll find a few walleyes mixed in during the day, but they tend to bite best during low-light periods in 20 feet. The west side continues to give up perch in eight to 15 feet and northern pike are being caught all over the lake. Ice conditions are now thick enough to allow vehicles to be used on most of the lake.

Fishing had been very good just prior to this week's cold front. Once the weather improves look to Snaghole Bar for perch in 15 to 34 feet - depth just depends on the day, which means there are days when they're shallow and others when they sit deep. Horseshoe Bar also is worth noting for perch in 22 to 30 feet and there is some decent walleye action to be had late in the afternoon and early evening hours on the bars in 18 to 20 feet. Northern pike are being caught throughout most perch and walleye locations as well.

ATVs remain the best travel option due to cracks and ridges that continue to open or shift. You'll hit perch during the day and a few walleyes during the evening hours on the sunken island in 20 to 24 feet. Perch also are being caught on Snaghole Bar in 15 feet or off the edge in 30 feet. The best perch action on the west side is coming from 12 to 15 feet.
